Foods Banks running out of food

JBS2022

Just read in my local paper that 3 of my local food banks are running out of food before 11am ( it's usually open until 5)and having to turn people away. This situation with food banks is getting really bad, it shows how bad the COL crisis is. But what can we do?

Thanks for sharing @JBS2022 that is sad to hear, have you thought about contacting your local council, local MP, or any of your food banks about ways to help?

There are people having a meeting at the local town hall regarding the situation. We will see what happens

Hope it all goes well @JBS2022 We've had food banks in my area reduce their hours because they don't have a lot, because volunteers are working more hours themselves due to cost of living or they are having to move premises because of overhead costs.
